Sometimes I wonder what the point is of the Republican Party. They behave little differently whether in power or out of power. For all intends and purposes, this is a Democrat Party spending bill.
Psyops against the people, create and maintain an illusion that there is real opposition to an overbearing federal government and gradual ceding of power to transnational forces.
Our political system is like pro-wrestling. The opponents in the ring are the political parties. The house (transnational forces) is actually in charge, and needs to put on a good show in order to maintain the fiction that free elections inevitably result in public control of the government.
When the party promising to take control from the house attains power, it fails on purpose so that it will be voted back to the inferior/weak/minority position.
The function of authorized dissent is to keep the public from getting too uppity. The tough talk and venting is a form of pressure relief. The "rein in the government" promises are meant to be broken. They are made in bad faith in the first place.
What are you going to do, vote for the Democrat?
The Dems don’t spend money like this. We need to increase the military, but do we need to throw money at it? Schumer/Pelosi are stunned how much they got and will run on Trillion dollar deficits in Nov.
